Aesthetics and the Golden Ratio | |||
Leonardo da Vinci's drawings of the human body emphasized its proportion. The ratio of the distances from foot to navel, and navel to head, is the Golden Ratio. | |||
Greek scholars believed that the Golden Ratio (also called divine proportion) is the key to beauty. Artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Salvador Dali often incorporate the Golden Ratio in their drawings. | |||
Definition of "art" | |||
Art has been defined in the field of aesthetics in various ways. Some adhere to a rigid definition of "art," such as paintings, sculpture and other traditional genres, while others believe that art should not be strictly defined, and thus believe that anything progressive may be labeled as such. | |||
